The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Oh, I forgot to mention this but a few days ago a member of AF was talking to me outside AF, and they happened to let slip that they think I'm too young for AF and should 'spend my youth somewhere else' (kinda paraphrasing but you get the gist). Just want to clarify to anyone else who feels this way (though I'd be pretty surprised if anyone does):a) it's not at all against the rules for me to be here and b) i'm not 'spending my youth here'. That's a crass exaggeration. I've been on online forums since I was 10 (so from 2012) and enjoy reading my posts from a few years ago. It's a reminder of how much I've grown and matured. (As I should, lol, it'd be bad if I didn't mature from 10 to 16). Besides, I don't spend much time on AF, and don't have the time to do so even if I wished. My screen time is restricted, and there's also a bunch of Instagramming I do. I often keep tabs open, so in reality I appear to be online for longer than I actually am, and even then it's not much. I enjoy AF and it's a tiny part of my life which I don't really plan on removing at the moment. If you're uncomfortable with the presence of a 16 year old on a non age restricted forum, there's something wrong with you, not me.

It is not against the forum rules to be young. Nor old, lest we get rid off Min. How about you decide? I spent my youth, and by the sum of it till now, it has been, well, my own and interesting. I am still young, but my body is telling me otherwise.

You sound more mature than I was at your age. That's fo sho.

Hell, she sounds more mature than I do NOW.
